Investigation, as well as all preconfigured presentation windows supplied in
the application.
What information elements can be obtained from various connectable
devices appears from the tables in chapter 4.
Conventions
For the sake of brevity, the following conventions are used in this book:
• The TEMS Investigation User’s Manual is referred to as “UM”.
• The TEMS Investigation Technical Reference is referred to as “TR”.

3. Information Elements
The tables below list all information elements that can be presented by TEMS
Investigation. For ease of reference, each category on the Info Element tab
of the Navigator is still covered in one single, alphabetically ordered list.
(Certain minor deviations from strict alphabetical order occur in the
application in order to achieve more logical orderings and groupings.)
However, since the number and diversity of the information elements are
great, a special column with codes is used in some tables to distinguish
important subgroups among the elements.

Code Meaning
c Valid if a cell file is loaded.
g Valid when running GPRS. Not valid for voice.
g+ The element is richer for (E)GPRS, in one of the following ways:
• more values, i.e. more arguments – e.g. C/I Best
• values have a more complex meaning – e.g. C/I Hopping
List (average over timeslots)
• larger range of possible values – e.g. Channel Type.
g– Not valid when running (E)GPRS.
ga Valid in GAN mode or for GAN-capable devices.
h Valid if frequency hopping is used.
Code Meaning
h+ The element is richer if frequency hopping is used.
If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in
the hopping list.
• No GPRS connection: One value for each channel
(arguments 0 through 63)

(arguments 0 through 64 8 – 1 = 511). Exception: C/I
Hopping List has only one value for each channel
(arguments 0 through 63).
If frequency hopping is not used, the element contains values
for the single channel employed.
• No GPRS connection: One single value (argument 0).
• GPRS: One value for each timeslot used on the channel
(arguments 0 through 7).
Example: C/I Best.
hc+ If frequency hopping is used, the element covers all channels in
the hopping list. One value for each channel (arguments 0

“C/I” IEs: Sony Ericsson UEs report C/I values for traffic channels. If the
General BCCH is not used as traffic channel, the C/I Absolute element will
remark be invalid for the BCCH ARFCN. The above applies to the Xperia
arc S as well.
Nokia UEs report a single C/I value which is associated with the
BCCH in the presentation.
See also notes on individual elements below.
C/I Best –5 ... 35 0 ... 511 g+ For Sony Ericsson UEs, this
dB (8·64–1) hs+ element gives C/I values for all
h+ hopping channels in all used
timeslots. The whole list is
sorted by descending C/I.
For Nokia UEs, a single C/I
value is obtained which is an
average over all hopping
channels. That value is found at
argument 0 of this element.
For PCTel scanners, one C/I
value is obtained for each
channel scanned.
Argument: 0 gives the C/I of
the best channel, 1 gives that of
the second best, etc.
C/I For Worst –5 ... 35 0 ... 7 g C/I for the worst channel in the
ARFCN dB hs hopping list for each used
h+ timeslot.

“Sc Best” IEs: These elements are derived from pilot scanning and combine
General scrambling codes from all scanned UMTS frequencies, sorted by
remark descending Aggr Ec/Io. The sorting order within the “Best”
elements is not affected by the settings in the General window
(see UM section 18.2.14.1).

If multiple matches are found,
the cell closest to the position is
selected.
If no positioning data is
available, the information

Chapter 3. Information Elements
3.8.1. General
This section lists the information elements in the Data category, i.e. those
obtained when performing data service testing. The Data category contains
the following kinds of elements:
• Application-level data service measurements: These reflect the
performance experienced directly by the user of the service, as opposed
to the performance at lower levels in the protocol hierarchy (RLC, LLC,
RLP, etc.). The latter is indicated mostly by information elements in other
categories such as GSM and WCDMA. Compare, however, the remaining
bullets below.
• Transport layer measurements: UDP elements.
• Link layer measurements.
Throughput elements in the Data category are either instantaneous or
averages taken over the entire duration of the network connection. These
elements contrast with the throughputs reported in KPI events (see
section 8.4), which are measured over the period defined in each KPI, as
described in the Technical Reference, chapter 11. All KPI data is furnished
by these events; no KPIs are based on the information elements in the
Data category.
The Data category information elements are independent of the bearer
service used (packet-switched or circuit-switched).
ABM Downlink 0 ... 10000 0 ... 4 Average time taken by ABM packets to

Chapter 3. Information Elements
3.9.1. General
This category holds information elements related to quality measurement for
various media.
Currently, this category is limited to AQM (PESQ/POLQA with ancillary data
such as volume measurements). It does not incorporate quality measures
that are not produced in connection with AQM, such as SQI.
It is useful to recapitulate the meaning of the “uplink” elements:
• In the ACU R2 setup, the uplink elements are populated in the mobile-to-
fixed configuration, where they are calculated by the CallGenerator. In the
other configurations, the uplink elements are not populated; but the uplink
measurements are identical to the downlink measurements for the other
phone in the pair.
• In the ACU TerraTec setup, the uplink elements are populated with copies
of the downlink measurements for the other phone in the pair.
• In the AQM module based setup, uplink measurements are those
performed by the CallGenerator. If an MRU is used instead, no uplink
measurements are made, and the uplink information elements are not
populated.
• In the VoIP setups and in on-device measurement regardless of bearer,
uplink measurements do not exist, and the uplink information elements
are not populated.
I&E-236
Chapter 3. Information Elements
Speech Path –2000 ... – The length of time it takes for the
Delay (RTT) 2000 speech to travel from the receiving
ms party to the calling party (this device)
and back to the receiving party again.
In a mobile-to-mobile configuration,
this element is obtained on the MT
side. In a mobile-to-fixed configuration,
the element is calculated by the
CallGenerator and only appears in
merged logfiles (see UM section 10.7).
I&E-238
Chapter 3. Information Elements
3.10.1. General
This section lists the information elements in the GSM Uplink category.
These originate from MTR (Mobile Traffic Recording) files, which can be
recorded in GSM cellular networks using infrastructure from Ericsson and
contain event data produced in the Base Station Controller (BSC), as well as
measurement data from the BTS and from the mobile device itself.
Pre-14.0 versions of TEMS Investigation had a function for merging MTR
data into TEMS Investigation logfiles. This function has been removed, but
the GSM Uplink information elements are retained to preserve compatibility.
The GSM Uplink category includes further elements besides those listed,
including RxLev and RxQual (Full and Sub) for both uplink and downlink. All
such elements have precisely the same ranges and meanings as the
corresponding elements in section 3.1, and so they have been omitted here.
No uplink information elements are valid when running GPRS/EGPRS.
Neighbor –127 ... 128 1 ... 6 This value is usually negative. A higher
Ranking Value value means a higher ranking. If a
ranking value of a neighbor becomes
positive, this neighbor probably soon
will become the serving cell.
Argument: Indicates neighbor
ranking: 1 gives the neighbor with the
highest rank, etc.
I&E-240
Chapter 3. Information Elements
3.11.1. General
This category contains information elements derived from Wi-Fi
measurements in TEMS Investigation or from Wi-Fi scanning recorded in
TEMS Pocket logfiles.
The argument, where present, points to one Wi-Fi access point (with its
unique BSSID) among those detected.
I&E-242
Chapter 4. Information Element Support in Devices
This chapter details which devices support which information elements, for all
cellular technologies where this is non-trivial.
Elements derived from positioning equipment are not included in the tables.
In the Information Elements column, <string>* means all IEs beginning with
<string>. The asterisk (*) sometimes appears as a wildcard also in other
positions.
A gray checkmark means that the IE support is restricted to a subset of the
devices in the column, or that only part of the IE data is obtained for these
devices. See the accompanying footnote for details.
The tables include certain devices/chipsets that are no longer connectable in
this version of TEMS Investigation; these are printed in non-boldface. They
are retained here since old logfiles recorded with the devices in question can
still be loaded in the application. There also exist information elements which
are unique to one or more of these devices.

In the ACU R2 column, “CG” means that the information element is obtained
only in the mobile-to-fixed configuration, where calls are made to a
CallGenerator.
In the VoIP, ODM MTSI column, “R2” means that the information element is
obtained only if the devices are connected to the PC via an ACU R2 box.
